Panzer Dragoon Saga 100% Completion

Written By:

Panzer Dragoon Zwei was always about perfection, getting that 100% shoot down ratio on every stage. In a way, Panzer Dragoon Saga is not much different. This guide explains how to get the ultimate rank of being 'worthy to live among the gods'.

At the very end of Panzer Dragoon Saga you’ll be presented with the “play result” screen, which is a rating of your overall performance in the game, judged by various criteria. Most of the ratings are given as percentage scores, and depending on how successful you’ve been in all of them, you’ll get a different overall “congratulations” message and you’ll get to see a different piece of artwork. The purpose of this section is simply to help you achieve those 100% scores, so details and advice for the various categories follow.

Clear Model

The first thing you’re ranked on is the evolutionary model that your dragon was in at the end of the game. Normally it would be in the Arm Wing form, but there are two hidden models that you’ll probably want your dragon to reach: the Light Wing form, and the ultimate Solo Wing form. Info on these hidden models can be found on the Disc 4 Secrets page.

Total Flight Distance

This is the only category that isn’t strictly a score; your “total flight distance” is just the overall distance you’ve travelled in Panzer Dragoon Saga, measured in kilometres, which the game seems to keep a track of.

Field Map Coverage

Your “field map coverage” is based on how many map squares you’ve explored (turned blue) throughout the game, as a percentage of the possible total. You can’t actually use the map feature in every area, so you only have to worry about the areas where you can use it; however, you do have to cover all of these areas, even the places that you can’t return to after a certain point in the game. Remember that you can check your field map quickly at any time by pressing Y, rather than accessing it through the menus.

It’s worth noting that a few locations - like the Underground Ruins of Uru - contain many awkward corners and corridors where it’s hard to turn certain slivers of map blue, because you can’t get far enough into those squares for the map to register your presence. These problem squares apparently don’t count towards your overall score, though; to achieve a 100% score in this category, you only have to cover those map squares that you can turn blue without a struggle.

Following is a checklist of the areas that do have field maps to explore. All of the hidden areas are covered in the “Secrets” pages, so you can check there if you’re unsure how to reach them. Also, the locations marked “no return” can’t be explored (or fully explored) after certain points in the game, so it’s best to cover their maps as soon as you can.

Target Destruction

Your “target destruction” score is based on how many Break targets you destroyed throughout the game, as a percentage of the possible total. It isn’t particularly hard to achieve a 100% score in this category; simply explore each flight area thoroughly, (which goes hand in hand with achieving a good “field map coverage” score,) and keep an eye on your radar to make sure that you don’t miss any Breakable objects. Also, remember that you’ll only be able to Break certain objects if you return to an area later on in the game; the “Secrets” pages mention each piece of backtracking you’ll need to do.

Enemy Data Collection

Your “enemy data collection” score is based on how many different enemies you found and defeated throughout the game, as a percentage of the possible total. The most commonly missed enemies are the eight hidden ones, which have blue symbols next to their names; these enemies are surprisingly hard to find, but the “Secrets” pages have info on when and where you can encounter them. For reference, here are the complete lists of enemies, in the order they’ll appear in your “Defeated Enemies” gallery.

Spiritual Closeness Points

Your “spiritual closeness” score is given as points out of 100, and it’s based on how well you treated your dragon throughout the game. You can find info on how to maximise this score on the Disc 1 Secrets page, under the “Astral Phantoms” heading.

The bond strengthens as Edge looks after his friend.

Other Stuff . . .

These categories are the only things that your overall “play result” rates you on, which might seem a little odd to some players. For instance, although your battle performance grades against the various enemies are stored in your “Defeated Enemies” gallery, they don’t count towards any of these final scores. (I expect many players will still want to get those grades up to the “Excellent” level though, if only for the sake of completeness.)

A list of berserk techniques.

Another thing that you’re not rated on is how many of the quest items (“items that cannot be sold”) you found in the game, which seems odd because a lot of them - especially the various books - are fairly well hidden. You’re also not ranked on how many Extra Class berserk techniques you found, or on how many gun parts you acquired. Again though, I’m sure some players will want to find all of this stuff simply so they know they’ve “done everything” in Panzer Dragoon Saga. Following are the complete lists of items, in the order they’ll appear in your in-game menus; the locations of all the hidden items are covered in the “Secrets” pages.
